Counting Down....

Only 11 days left in 2008! Things have been kind of crazy around here. We lost our power for a few days thanks to an ice storm! Things are back on track now, and I am making my weight loss preparations.   It's not that easy to know where to start, but I almost have my workout plan completed.  It includes Curves (but actually going this time!), my elliptical machine, free weights, and the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video.  Once I'm done with my plan, I'll share it with you!  I still need to figure out my eating but am working on that also.

The T-shirt

In January 2008, I had the same resolution as 2009. I was going to lose weight and get fit! I joined Curves for Women. If you don't know, Curves is a women's only gym that uses a circuit training approach. The machines are in a circle, and you round the circle twice. The workout is somewhere around a half hour. Being the motivated person that I thought I was, I planned to go 4-5 times per week. They recommend at least 3 times for results, so I was going to be one hot mama going 4-5 times, right? They had started a t-shirt of the month that month, and I just HAD to have the January shirt. I would get every month's t-shirt. After all, I was going to be their prize student. I put my order in right away, but the T was on backorder. No worries, I would be back to pick it up. Long story short, I did pick it up at my next workout......in November. Well, here I sit a year later at the same exact weight wearing my January t-shirt. The shirt reads, "This is my year!", by the way. Pathetic!!!!!
